Author Event: Democracy in Chains: Concord

  • First Parish - Concord 20 Lexington Rd. Concord, MA USA (map)

Reclaim our Democracy invites you to an evening with Nancy MacLean, Duke University Professor of History and Public Policy, and author of the National Book Award Finalist Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America.

Free and open to the public.

“This sixty-year campaign to make libertarianism mainstream and eventually take the government itself is at the heart of Democracy in Chains. . . . [MacLean] takes the time to meticulously trace how we got here. . . . If you’re worried about what all this means for America’s future, you should be. . . . And if someone you know isn’t convinced, you have just the book to hand them.” NPR

“[MacLean] creates a chilling portrait of an arrogant, uncompromising, and unforgiving man . . . [she] offers a cogent yet disturbing analysis of libertarians’ current efforts to rewrite the social contract and manipulate citizens’ beliefs. . . . An unsettling exposé of the depth and breadth of the libertarian agenda.” —Kirkus Reviews
